Canaima
Canaima GNU/Linux is a Venezuelan desktop distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux. It was primarily designed as a solution for the computers of the National Public Administration (NPA) in accordance with the presidential decree N° 3.390 about the use of free technologies in NPA. Nowadays, Canaima is no longer a distribution of the state but a Metadistribution developed, promoted, and used by a large Community in Venezuela and various latin-american countries. It also continues to be the official Operating System in the NPA and powers National Projects as Canaima Educativo (Educational Canaima) for children.
